Don't look at any synopsis, just watch the movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2005)

People who have survived the contamination live in a controlled environment where they are cared for until they win the lottery to go to the Island, which is not contaminated.
This is a movie you should watch without looking at any reviews or the synopsis on the box a DVD comes in that tells you what it is all about. Half the fun here is not knowing and finding out things when Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) does.
Yes, it is a fantasy, but keep in mind a fantasy is something that could happen. Lincoln Six-Echo begins to question why he is kept there so long doing the same thing day after day when others who haven't been there as long win the lottery and go to the Island. Oh, these questions, questions, questions.Anyway, Lincoln hooks up with Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson) and they go on the run trying to get away from their safe environment. Come on, at least you knew that was coming.
The stunts are stunts you have not ever, ever, ever seen in a movie. They are fantastic and will blow your mind as you ask yourself, "How did they do that? OMG! How did they do that?" We have a new director in the house and it seems he will do things others won't do. Good show. What is next Michael Bay?
The acting, while not Oscar material, is very good all around. Scarlett Johansson is so beautiful who cares what the story is about anyway? Just watching her is worth the price of admission or the DVD or the rental. Whatever.
This is Science Fiction at its best.
